Pleural Effusion Pathophysiology. Pleural effusion sometimes referred to as water on the lungs is the build up of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura outside the lungs. It is the most common manifestation of pleural. Normally a small amount of fluid is present in the pleura. The rate of formation must overwhelm lymphatic clearance which may be decreased by hydrostatic forces or blocked by.
Two features of human parietal pleura explain its role in the formation and removal of pleural liquid and protein in the normal state. For pleural fluid to accumulate in disease there must be increased production from increased hydrostatic pressure decreased oncotic or pleural pressure increased microvascular permeability or peritoneal pleural movement. It is the most common manifestation of pleural. For pleural fluid to accumulate in disease there must be increased production from increased hydrostatic pressure decreased oncotic or. There are many causes of pleural effusion including pneumonia tuberculosis and the spread of a malignant tumour from a distant site to the pleural surface.

Pleural effusion also called hydrothorax accumulation of watery fluid in the pleural cavity between the membrane lining the thoracic cage and the membrane covering the lung. It is the most common manifestation of pleural.
